Jxraga ker of Montgomery as Speaker of the House. The Governor's .Message was de livered yesterday, a portion of which we give below, being as much as we can make room for to-day: GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE, To the Honorable the Senators and Members of the House of Representatives of the Gen eral Assembly. Gentlemen—By the suffrages ef your fel low-citizens, you have been charged with the duty of representing them, and the interests of the Commonwealth, in the "Legislative branch of the Government. The responsi bilities you have assumed and the duties to be performed should ever be regarded as par amount to every selfish or partizan consider ation. The prosperity of the State and the general welfare of the people, should receive yeur earnest attention, and be the aim and end of yeur legislative action. To promote these objects, I will cheerfully, in every legal and constitutional manner, during the contin uance of my official term, eo operate with you. The past year, with the exception of recent financial embarrassment, has been one of general prosperity. No foreign wars—no fraternal strife, has disturbed the peaceful quiet of our homes. Unwonted health, with its blessings, has been vouchsafed to us.— Seed time and harvest have not failed—the earth hath yielded her increase, and richly rewarded the labor of the husbandman. The Arts and Sciences have been advanced, and tho great interests of Education, Morality and Religion liberally encouraged and sus tained. Our nation in its unity— eur free institutions in their integrity, with our rights and privileges, civil and religious, have been preserved. Recognizing in these blessings the goodness of Almighty God, we should render to Him the homage of grateful hearts and the devotion of our sincere praise ; and whilst humbly acknowledging liis mercies to us as a people, let us still further express our gratitude to Him, by acts of individual char and kindness to the poor and helpless in Wast. Sorrow now fills the hearts, and tcty darkens the homes of many of our Our liberality should be generous ; munificent; and thus whilst cf the poor and suffering are re the generous giver wili find a rich re- n in the pleasure that results from com municated good. J he finances of the Commonwealth are in a very satisfactory condition. During the past year every demand upon the Treasury been promptly paid, from the revenues derived from the ordinary sources. The op erations of this Department will be presented to you, in detail, iu the report of the State '"-Aasurer. 0: the fiscal year ending November, 30, di&he receipts at the Treasury, including u?e in the Treasury on the first day of 'fjber, 1856, of one million two hundred four thousand seven hundred and | j ve dollars and forty twocents, (1,244, 1 ere five millions nine hundred and i ' ■r less h o usaod three hundred and eighty theae nd 20 cents.

By virtue of the provisions of the Act of the 13th of October, 1857 en titled "An Act providing for the Resumption of Specie Payments by the Banks, and for the relief of Debtors," the State Treasurer will be enabled to pay the interest due in February, iu specie or its equivalent. The credit of the Commonwealth has been fully and honorably sustained. The promptness with which every legitimate demand upon the Treasury has been met, has inspired pub lic confidence in our securities ; and although recent and "existing financial revulsion mjy embarrass the operations of thc Treasury, and reduce, to some extent the revenue ; vet the ability of tho State to meet her engage ments and maintain her credit, under an hon est and economical administration of her fi nances, is undoubted. The honor and credit of the State must and can be preserved in tact. The Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, report the sum of four hundred and fourteen thousand nine hundred and twenty dollars and twenty-nine cents, (414,920 29) as now in the Treasury to the credit of that fußd. This amount will be applied to the redemp tion of Relief Notes yet in circulation, and to the payment of the funded debt of the Commonwealth. The Commissioners of this fund, on the 7th day of September last, reported to me that the sum of one million forty-two thousand eight hundred and fifty-seven dollars and sixty-four cents, (1,042,857 04) of the debt of the Commonwealth, was held by them, as follows—viz: Loans of 19th of April, 1853, _ over due, temporary, 54uu,uuu uu Loans of 9th of May, 1854, over due, temporary, 104,mat,uu Certificates of stock, loans of April 11, 1848, 6 per cent, 60,501 00 Certificates of stock, loans of va rious dates, 5 per cent, 9,316 64 Relief Notes cancelled and de stroyed, 313,040 09 Relief Notes in Treasury, set aside for cancellation, 30,000 00 Total, $1,042,857 64 As required by law, I directed the certifi cates and evidences of this indebtedness to be cancelled; and on the 19th of September, 1857, issued my proclamation declaring the payment, extinguishment and final discharge, of one million forty-two thousand eight hun dred and fifty-seven dollars and sixty-four cents, (1,042,857 64) of the public debt. In addition to the amount reported to be in the- Treasury to the credit of the sinking fund, and applicable to the payment of the public debt, tlie Commissioners of the Fund now hold the sum of seven and one-half mil lions of dollars, ($7,500,000) bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, pledged by law to the payment of the funded debt of the Commonwealth. By the 4th section of the 11th article of the Constitution, as amended and ratified by a majority of the qualified voters of the State, at the general election, held on the second Tuesday of October. 1857, it is made the duty of the Legislature at its first session after the adoption of this amendment, to cre ate a Sinking Fund, which shall be sufficient to pay the accruing interest on the present public debt, and any additional debt thereaf ter constitutionally contracted, and annually to reduce the principal thereof by a sum not less than two hundred and fifty thousand dol lars, (250,000,) which "Sinking Fund shall consist of the net annua', income of the pub lie works from time to time, owned by the State, or the proceeds of the sale of the same, or any part thereof, and of the income or proceeds of sale of stocks owned by the State, together with other fun Is or resources that may be designated Ly law. The aid Sink ing Fuud may lc increased from time t time assigning to it any part of the taxes or other revenues of the State, not required for the ordin;ny and current expenses of government, and, unless in case of war, invasion orinsur rection, no part of said Sinking Fund shall be used or applied otherwise than in extin guishment of the public debt, nntil the amount of such debt is reduced below the sunt of five minions of dollars," ($5,000,(KH). | This being the first session of the Legislature since the adoption of this amendment, the duty therein enjoined devolves upon you, and should be promptly and faithfully discharged. The funded and unfunded debt of the State, including temporary loans, on the first day of December, 1656, as per Reports of Auditor General and State Treasurer, was as follows, viz: FENCED DEBT. 6 per cent loans 4 511,781 (JO 5 44 44 44 38,806,304 50 4i 44 44 44 388,200 00 4 44 44 44 100,000 00 UNFUNDED DEBT.

During the same period large appro priations and payments were made on account of ocr public improvements, for old and unset tied claims adjusted under the act of last ses sion, and for other extraordinary purposes. Thc condition of the Treasury prior to the suspension of specie payments by thc Banks, justified the appropriation of at least two hun dred thousand dollars more in payment of the public debt, and arrangements were made by 'he Treasurer, under the direction of the Com missioners of the Sinking Fund, to liquidate that amount, but after the suspension, and the consequent financial embarrassment of the country, the proposed payment, from pruden tial motives, was postponed. Had this pay ment been made, in addition to the payments already reported, the statements and calcula tions submitted in my last annual Message in relation to the earl) payment and final extin guishment of the public debt, would thus far have been sustained by their actual verification. The causes that prevented their realization, it is believed, will soon cease to affect injuriously the revenues of the Commonwealth. Actuated by that indomitable energy that has ever char acterized the American people—faltering for a moment, but not disheartened by the adverse circumstances that surround us—-roused to more vigorous action by disaster and defeat, our progress cannot long be checked, nor our prosperity long be interrupted. Confidence, the sensitive, yet powerful agencv, that binds in unity and strength the great financial, commer cial and industrial interests of our country and n wor . has been suddenly impaired, produ cing financial and commercial distress, and af fecting the revenues of the Commonwealth; but advantage, resulting from the rapid development o( our resources during the last quarter of a century—the immensely valuable increase of our agricultural, mining and man ufacturing industry during the same period the abundant harvests of the past year—our completed improvements, and all the elements of material wealth in our midst, its restoration at an early period is not problematical. Re turning confidence will be the herald of return ing prosperity. Notwithstanding, then, the present embarrassment and gloomy condition of the country, after a careful consideration of the present and prospective condition of the finances and resources of the Commonwealth, I cannot hesitate to reaffirm my belief, "that the time is not far distant when Pennsylvania will stand redeemed from the oppression of her public debt, and her people be relieved from a taxation imposed to meet its accruing interest and maintain the faith and credit of the Com mon wealth," and that "by practising strict econ omy in all departments of the Government— avoiding extravagant expenditure—refusing to undertake any new schemes of internal im provement, and hc-lding to a rigid accountabil ity the receiving and disbursing agents of the Stale, the realization of these views may be an ticipated with confidence." As corroborative of the opinion now and heretofore expressed, a brief review of the op erations of the Treasury during the past three years, as connected with the payment of the debt of the Commonwealth, may not be inap propriate. In my first annual message to the Legislature the fact was stated, that during the three years intervening, between December 1, 1851, and December 1, 1854, the public debt had been increased one million, five hundred and eighty-four thousand, three hundred and fifty-nine dollars and thirty-four cents; and that the total dehl at the close of the fiscal year, December 1, 1854, was forty-one millions, six hundred and ninety-eight thousand, five hun dred and ninety-five dollats, and seventy-four cents, ($41,61)8,595 74 ) At the close of the late fiscal year, December 1, 1c57, three years later, the funded and unfunded debt, as before shown, was thirty-nine millions, eight hundred and eighty-one thousand, seven hundred and thirty-eight dollars and twenty-two cents; ($39,- 881,738 22) decrease in three years, one mil lion, eight hundred and sixteen thousand, eight hundred and fifty-seven dollars arid fiftv-two cents, ($1,816,857 5*2 ) | Thus in three years the public debt has becii decreased, by actual payment and without re ! sorting to the expedient of tempoiary loans, one : million, eight hundred and sixteen thousand, j eight hundred and fifty-seven dollars and fifty ; two cents. If to this be added the sum of four j hundred and fourteen thousand, nine hundred and twenty dollars and twenty-nine cts. ($414,- 920 29) now in the sinking fund, and applicable ; to the payment of the funded debt, the reduc- I tion will be two millions, two hundred and j thirty-one thousand, seven hundred and seven ; ty-seven dollars and eightv-one cents. ($2,231,- | 777 71.) ~ " These facts are not only gratifying, but en | couraging. It has already been stated that there is in the Sinking Fund the sum of seven millions, five hundred thousand dollars—bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, bear ing interest at the rate of five per centum per annum, payable semi-annually, and pledged to the payment of the funded debt. .If this sum lie added to the reduction before stated, we have presented to us a virtual, if not an actual decrease, of the State debt of nine millions, seven hundred and thirty-one thousand,seven hundred and seventy-seven dollars and eighty one cents, ($9,731,777 81:) showing the total funded and Unfunded debt of the Slate on the fir?t day of December, le<s7, to have been thir ty one millions, nine hundred and sixty-six i thousand, eight bundled arid eighteen dollars | and forty-one cents (§31,1)66,613 41.) in anticipation of the sale of the Main Line and the decrease in the public debt, the Stale tax, by an act of the last regular session, was I ieduced from three to two and one-half mills on the dollar; a reduction equal to one sixth of the tax imposed for Slate purposes prior to that act. .These facts speak for themselves. Well j may the people be congratulated on such an auspicious beginning in the process of liquida tion, and well may they with confidence antici , pate the day of their deliverance from State I taxation. Financial and commercial embar ! rassmeut may postpone,—nothing but unwise | legislation, and the imprudent or dishonest man \ agem<?nt of our finatces, can prevent—the early realization of their well founded anticipations. The condition of the public works, their gen eral operation, the receipts and expenditures during the past fiscal year, will be presented to you in detail in the Report of the Canal Com missioners. The total receipt* at the Treasury, from the ; public works, for the year ending November ! 30, 1837, including receipts from the Main Line j up to the first day of August last, were one j million, three hundred and eight thousand, five j hundred and ninety-eight dollars and sixty-two j cents, ($1,308,598 62.) The aggregate expeu | ditures for the same period were one million 1 three hundred and twelve thousand seven hun | dred and five dollars and sixty-seven cents, (§l,- ; 312.705 67;) the expenditures exceeding the ; revenues four thousand one hundred and seven : dollars and five cents, ($4,107 05.) The receipts at the Treasury from the sever -1 al Divisions were as follows, viz : ! Main Line, to August 1, 1857, $796,550 33 Susquehanna and North arid West Branch Divisions, 287,713 95 i Delaware Division, 224,329 34 The receipts from the Delaware Division are less than those of the previous year. The com i pletion of rival Railroads and other causes, j have lessened the receipts from this important : division of our public works; and it is feared will continue to decrease them. Its manage ! rnent has been satisfactory, and compared with | other divisions of the public improvements, 1 economical The net revenue, at the Treasu ry, was $174,001 87, a decrease of >90,093 23, as compared with the receipts of the preceding year. In adJition to the ordinary expenditures, the sum of $4G,2t3 was paid for the enlaige j merit arid improvement of this division. ' The North Branch Extension of the Pennsyl i vania canal, although so far completed in the I fall of 1856, that boats freighted with coal and other products, were successfully passed thro' i's entire length from Piltston to the Junction ! canal, yet in consequence of a large portion of I the "Horse Race Dam" having been carried I away by the freshet of last spring, business on i the canal was suspended the greater part of the | past year. It was repairrd during the summer : and in the fall business was resumed along its entire length Soon after, the same dam was again extensively injured by a sudden and heavy freshet, and the greater part of the canal rendered useless for business. An appropria lion will be required to re-construct the dam. i This canal although useful and valuable, ap pears to be doomed to failure and disaster.— ; These are the fruits of former mismanagement and fraud in iu construction. Every effort has been made to repair the errors of its early man agement, and to complete and render useful ' this division of our public works. Under prop er management it can be successfully accom plished. In pursuance ef the act of the 16th day of May, 1857, providing for the sale of the Main Line of the public works, after giving the no- J tice required by law, I caused the said Main j Line to be exposed to public sale at the Mer j chants' Exchange, in the city of Philadelphia, j on the 25th day of June lust, and sold the I same to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company ; for the sum of seven millions five hundred thousand dollars, the highest price bi 1 for the same, and the minimum price fixed in the act. After a full compliance by the purchasers with the conditions of the act authorizing the sale, and the delivery of their bonds in num ber and for the amounts equal to and falling due at the time, provided for the payment of the respective instalments, the Secretary of the Commonwealth, on the 31st day of July, , A. I>. 1857, as directed by tho act, transferred, under the great seal of the State, to the Peun sylvania Railroad Company, their successors or assign*, the whele Main Line of the public works between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, ] together with all the right, title and interest, claim and demand of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to all property, real, personal and mixed, belonging to or used in connection with th% same by the Commonwealth ; and the purchasers having given notice of their readiness to take possession of the said works, possession of the same was accordingly de livered to the Company on the first day of August last; of which notice was given to all Superintendents and Agents of the Common wealth, by proclamation bearing date the 31st day of July, 1*57, as required by the law authorizing the sale. The bonds of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, in the sum of seven and one half millions of dollars, were received by the State Treasurer and are held by him for the Com missioners of the Sinking Fund ; the entire proceeds of the sale being required by the 12th section of the act to be paid to the Sink ing Fund and applied to the payment of the State debt. 1 cannot forbear congratulating the people of the Commonwealth on the consummation of this sale. Public sentiment, as expressed through the ballot box, and in other forms equally significant, demanded it—public pol icy and the interests of the Common wealth required it. It is done. The many approve; tew complain, those most, who have gained an unenviable reputation by a reckless disre gard of the public interests, as exhibited in the extravagant, useless and fraudulent ex penditures of the public money for selfish or partizan purposes. '1 he sale of the Main Line has directed public attention to the importance and neces sity of disposing of the remaining divisions of the public improvements. The reasons aa J poliuy that required and justified tho sale of u.c one, apply with equal force to the sale of the other, The propriety of separating the State from the cafe aud control of the public wurks, is not only evident to all who have given the subject a candid and impartial consideration, but tfie neoossity is clearly es tablished by the history of their construction and management. They have failed to be a source of revenue to the Commonwealth, and if retained by the State, will require an ox penditure in their repair and management, largely exceeding any revenue that under the most favorable circumstances, can be derived from them. jctiNM ISIO.N* IN OCR NEXT.] your lungs diseased, and would you be cured, do not allow yourself to be ex- ' pe rime ate d upon, but try a remedy that has relieved thousands and proved itself worthy of your confidence.
